Lyrics

Blow Up The World

She was cold in the darknessWhen I held her in her sleepNaked clowns at the window in the gardenTurn their heads around and

See me laughingBut there's no fun in itI believe The sign in front of me

Baby blow up the worldMaybe you'll be right on time to explodeBaby blow up the worldIt turned out to only be a sun showerAnd you'll be blowing up the world

Believe the day will soon be shinningWon't be stepping on our feetAny how there's a rainbow in the gardenJust turn your head around and

See me laughingAnd they'll be fun in itCause I can seeThe flowers from the weeds

Baby blow up the worldMaybe you'll be right on time to explodeBaby blow up the worldMaybe you'll come on in out of the coldBaby blow up the worldIt turned out to only be a sun showerAnd you'll be blowing up the world

Look at all the lonely people saying yeahsaying yeah...Look at all the lonely people saying yeahsaying yeah...

Your Own Shadow

Written By: Freddy Monday

Will you row your boat ashoreAnd see what you can findWhen your held in the under toeHold your head up high

A silent spirit cries insideIn doubt of who you areWhile you hide between the linesFrightened in the darkLife is one damn thing after anotherYou will findYou’ll be fine

You’re afraid of your own shadowNow isn’t that goodYou’re afraid of being happyBut you know that you shouldYou shouldIsn’t it time for you to seeAll the things that you can beTake a look at your own shadowNow isn’t that good

No such thing as impossibleBelieve in who you areYou can fly high up in the cloudsAnd never touch the ground Turn aroundTurn around

It’s like walking on a wireYou’ve been burned by your desireYou’ve been lied to by a liarI could tell you would stand up when you fellKeep pulling wishes from your wellNow it’s time for youIt’s time for you right now to be yourself

It's What You Get

Written By: Freddy Monday

I've been standing on a hilltopAnd I've been waiting for the sun to come downIf I could fly away I wouldBut my wings are broke and I'd crash down

Who was the girl who left here on a MondaySaid all I was doing was making you cryTook my suitcase and everything that I'd put in itHung me out to dry

Somebody said that love was just a superstition

It's not what you wantIt's what you getIt's not what you're sayingBecause you might forget, you might forgetIt's not what you want that makes you happy I knowIt's what you get

Well I'm reading your soaking wet letterAnd I'm hidding underneath a treeI thought I drew a whisperCalling out to me

Somebody said that love was just a superstitionJust when I think I've got it figured then I don't

It's not what you wantIt's what you getIt's not what you're sayingBecause you might forget, you might forgetIt's not what you want that makes you happy I knowIt's what you get
